marine fight whoever has the higher level will win, even with fewer units. If you're fighting against other terrans in a marine vs. That gives terrans an advantage in a foot fight against like units. Since they also attack at range (with their guns) in a fight between zerglins and zealots they have a time of 'free hits' before the other units get in close enough to attack. And since you should have AT LEAST 2+ barracks per base you can crank them out at an amazing pace compared to zealots. They can attack both air and ground units, and that makes them a very versatile force. If you take the time to level up (which is cheap compared to how badass a swarm of 3rd level weapon and armor marines are) marines they can cut a deep swath through almost anything. If you lose a few SCVs and wipe out their attacking force you end up the net winner. At any rate, you can deflect most infantry (zergling, marine, firebat, zealot) and even some air attacks this way. Most of the time the attacking force with either just keep hitting the bunker, which won't go down with 2-4 SCVs repairing it allowing you to wipe out the attacking units, or focus the fire on the SCVs, giving you 'free' time to keep hitting them with bunker fire. Also, if you're being attacked I usually keep two or three groups of SCVs hotkey'd so I can send them to repair as soon as the bunkers begin taking fire. You need to be sure to have strong defense (which IMHO is the Terran's strongest point) and also a movable attacking force at all times. The main trap that terrans usually fall into is to turtle behind defense way too much. If you make an arc of buildings with your bunker behind the buildings, you can make your enemy run all the way around your buildings to get at your bunker, all the while pelting them. Terrans also can do cute things like the barracks - drawbridge dealie. Make like two lines and un-siege the back line and move them up while the front-line is still laying down the hurt. If you go like eight siege tanks with some SCVs for repair, plus a handful of goliaths and some marines and medics, you've got a pretty decent siege force. Of course, terrans have the best defense in the game. View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif In the late game, terrans need to rely on tricks more than brute force. Valkyries can rule the skies if you let them, esp. Irradiate is actually not that useful against the zergs - it's OK, just not a show-stopper like EMP or lockdown. And let's not forget the NUKE! W00t! Nothing makes people scan around more than 'Nuclear launch detected.' (Well, not annhiliate, but you should be able to win pretty handily.) Ghosts will lockdown carriers, rendering them ineffective and sitting ducks. Terrans usually have 'all the answers' - if you build them right.Ī science vessel with EMP will annhiliate archons.
